Expanded access to paid family leave
The value of an employee benefits package plays a pivotal role in attracting and retaining talent. Today’s employees want benefits that help to keep them and their families thriving, no matter what life brings. With this in mind, Guardian offers you the option to add our unique Paid leave benefit rider to Guardian short-term disability (STD) plans, making paid family leave available across the US.
Did you know that 43% of employees say it’s extremely important to them to have paid parental, family, or medical leave?1 When you choose this optional paid leave rider, you can provide your employees with paid family leave to bond with a child after birth or adoption, care for a sick family member, and more. You’ll stand out as an employer that provides the high-demand benefit for a modern workforce, no matter where your employees are located — all while simplifying access through a streamlined STD claims administration process.
Only 27% of workers in the United States have access to paid family leave through their employers.²
